7/14 Sunday Sylvia remonstrates with us a great deal to pay attention to what she says and answer her nicely. Can't you say "That's very nice, Sylvia", she will say. She is very anxious to stay up as late as Eugene. Eugene takes a shower by himself, making it easier for Lillian. Today we went to Woodlawn again, the Rosenbergs and Sam and Mollie being there. Lillian played for the first time in years. Beat Shakhet. Polish elections saw 10 million to one million OK the new Western boundaries, 7 million to 3 million for one chamber legislature and 8 million to 2 million for nationalization of industry and land reform. The "House" passed the British loan. Lillian read "The King's Passenger" by N. Schachner and "The Razor's Edge" by Maugham. Scores of S.S. men have been found guilty of killing American prisoners in the "Bulge". 43 will die, 30 got prison sentences.

7/15 We went shopping today, buying sandals and slacks for me. Eugene drew "Our Town and City Animals" by Clark & Keelor "Red Jungle Boy" by E.K. Steen and "Shaween [sic] and the Gander" by R. Bennett. Played some chess tonight Eugene being rusty from lack of practice. Mike over in the evening. Americans have killed two Yugoslavs in a skirmish. Mikhailovitch will be shot.

Padilla has conceded Aleman's presidential victory in Mexico. Egypt has arrested 1000 workers on the eve of a general strike. Riggs defeated Budge easily in straight sets to win the Nat'l Prof. grass courts title. Lillian stayed at the Rosenberg's tonight.

7/16 Beat Levitt. Jewish war vets came to Washington to ask Truman to help 100,000 Jews enter Palestine. Catalanster [?] is dead at 59. Canada charged wholesale espionage by Russia in Canada with some uranium smuggled out.

7/19 Lost to Stafberg. Buyers strikes and picketing are winning lower prices in many cases throughout the country. The Freeport probe is the object of much protest for suppression of vital evidence. Thousands are picketing Macy's. Lane Bryant's is also out now.
7/20 Sylvia wanted to know if people took their doggies home with them. Also where they slept. Eugene for the first time asked how a baby got into a "belly"? Just before, after a little fuss with Eugene, I said to him "You're a problem". He got "mad" aimed a blow at me and strode into another room saying "If you say that again I'll really hit you". Bogolometz is dead. No. 39 for Eugene - Alabama.
My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.
